Are You Good Enough To Have Imposter Syndrome?

@crispycandyharmony :  Please what is the app you are using to write?

I use both OneNote and Goodnotes depending on what content I am writing about- I tend to use goodnotes for lectures because I like the cornell page structure more since it keeps it condense and helps me to remember to both summarise and learn key terms.

@nonbinarypurpleflower :  Can you say which device you're using pretty please?

I use an iPad (dunno the generation). I didn’t think I would need or want one when I started uni, but soon realised that most other people on my course had one and they were actually really useful. I remember things a lot better if I write them by hand, but with the ipad it means I don’t have to worry about losing notes or transporting them from home to uni. It also comes in handy when reading research papers because you can save loads on printing and highlight just on the ipad. It’s an investment but I think it is definitely worth it. :))

my girlfriend (who’s so lovely) bought me these flowers because we’re social distancing apart (which is very sad). i know this is very little in comparison to what others are going through right now, but it’s still tough!!

i have no clue what my medical school is going to do for exams, which is a bit stressful… hope anyone else in the same boat finds out soon!!

11-01-2020 Happy new year to you guys :)) been back at uni for a week, and this module is respiration! Hope you are all having a nice start to the new year :))

Hi! I’m on my Christmas break after my first term of medical school :)) I’ve got exams in January, so it’s not a complete break, but it is really nice to be home with my family (and to get to eat some normal meals for once- don’t think I’ve had any protein that didn’t come in a pot noodle for weeks). I was thinking I could do a little personal round-up of my first term :))) 

It’s been a bit of a roller coaster, with some pretty extreme lows, as well as some amazing highs. The amount of content has been incredibly high, and the degree itself is much harder than my non-medic friends: making it quite hard to keep yourself motivated. I’ve definitely had a few moments of wanting to drop out, as well as many moments where I’ve loved university (especially my new friends and course-mates!!).

I love learning clinical skills, and I’m really looking forward to going into clinical settings in the new year!! I also really love learning about medical sociology and public health!!

16-11-2019 We’ve almost finished the digestive system! It was accessory organs this week :)) The sunsets up here are so pretty!! I wonder why they’re so different?

08-11-2019 Good afternoon!! I’ve been working super hard (which I guess is normal for a medical degree- I’m still finding my feet!!) but I found time to go on a walk the other week :))

Medical school has been hectic and kinda crazy but I’m really enjoying it so far :))

I wish everyone experiencing big changes in their life right now the best :)) hang in there!!!!
